My Project

Independent reading exposes students to new subjects and concepts, and build their vocabulary and language skills.

When students are able to choose books that they find interesting and engaging, they are more likely to develop a lifelong love of reading and a desire to continue learning.

Independent reading also promotes critical thinking skills. As students read and think about what they are reading, they are able to make connections to their own experiences and knowledge. This helps them develop important analytical and problem-solving skills.

Finally, independent reading can help improve concentration and focus. When students are focused on a book they have chosen, they are more likely to pay attention and stay engaged.
